Cool Icelandic Color Melt + Gradual Pink Grapefruit

Everyone knows Manic Panic—the brand is classic New York cool. And from the very beginning, Manic Panic founders, Tish & Snooky, epitomized everything alternative—from singing backup for Blondie to opening their first punk-style fashion boutique in the late ‘70s. Then came their every-color-of-the-rainbow hair dye, causing every angsty, hair-obsessed teen and edgy, soon-to-be stylist to fall in love with color.

Application1. Start by cutting the hair dry to lay the foundation for the color.

2. Prelighten using Formula A until the hair is a clean Level 10, then rinse.

3. Then apply Formula B all over, making sure to saturate thoroughly. Next, apply Formula C to the midlengths, being sure to leave between 2 to 3 inches out at the ends.

4. Apply Formula D on the ends, melting and blending the color into the midlengths.

5. Let color process under heat for 35 minutes, then rinse with cold water to prevent bleeding.

6. Finish with an Olaplex treatment, then blow the hair dry and style.

Application1. Start by trimming the hair to lay the foundation.

2. Apply Formula A until hair reaches a clean Level 9 all over.

3. Apply Formula B to the root area, dragging it down about 2 to 3 inches. Apply to the roots and underneath until you reach the occipital bone.

4. Once color is saturated, apply Formula C from the midlengths to the ends, overlapping the color around the face and up to 1 inch in the root-colored area. Saturate completely.

5. Process for 35 minutes, then rinse and apply an Olaplex treatment. Dry and style as desired.

Through the decades, their brand has continued to grow and Manic Panic has become a household name in haircolor, makeup and all things punk-rock. So, when they contacted us and shared they were announcing Manic Panic Professional Color, we kind of totally freaked out for a second. Then we pulled ourselves together and found some kick-ass transformations by a stylist already using the pro line. Here’s a cool Icelandic color melt and gradual pink grapefruit how-to from Steven Austin@stevenaustinhairartist!
